Good thing for the West that the FSB is crippling Russia's hypersonic missile development.
How much money does the FSB get from CIA to do this?
🤣🤡
RT @MoscowTimes: In an open letter, the scientists' colleagues warned that the criminal cases risk setting back Russia’s advances in hypersonic technology.

"Valimistel on tagajärjed" ütles endine välisminister, plageerides Obamat.
Demokraatlikes riigis opositsioon aktsepteerib enamuse otsusi.

Gee @dwnews, why didn't Germany leave up Adolf's monuments?
Why did you blow up the Nürnberg stadium?
Do you have any capacity for self-refection?

Nato as "a rapacious, pro-war military alliance" ???
Ahem. NATO was *initiated* by a leftist Labour foreign minister, Ernest Bevan, after Soviet coups toppled democratically elected Social Democratic governments in Eastern Europe in 1948.
NATO has merely returned to its roots.

The price of dithering:
"It’s clear the center of gravity for the alliance’s resolve has shifted east: Warsaw, Tallinn, Riga, Vilnius, and Bucharest are the new backbone of NATO, and the United States should adjust its policies and posture accordingly."
